On my 90 theres one at the fire wall and one end near the belt. I believe the inlet is at the firewall but idk.

Thanks for bearing with my noob locker questions.

Thanks again guys

Jacked up the front of my jeep and spun the front tires as hard as I could and the opposite side would slightly move in the opposite direction.
Ex: spun the driver side tire as if the car was in drive and the passenger side would start to spin as if it were in reverse.

Yep. Grab it here and opposite side and pull then work it off towards the top.

i later on realized that my wipers, turn signals, and blower no longer work.
its possible that whatever caused that stuff to quit working happened before it overheated, and i just noticed it after.

i checked the blower fuse and the accessory fuse and those look fine, everything else seems normal my voltage seems fine and the xj seems to run just fine.

any suggestions on what the problem could be?

Brown wire on the ignition switch is probably burned.

Id say a nice trade regardless. Way better than a minivan lol

They are actually 31s... I'd like to get 33's on it, it looks like they will fit, but I'm not quite sure how much of a lift is on it... I'm headed to the tire store this weekend, just wanted to get an idea of what I was looking at... and yes.. way better than my divorce, leftover minivan....

Go check, if the worm gear just slides through the bracket, than its broken.

so how do you know its enoth or not ? i know there is a way to check the oil in gearbox but i really dont know yet how we do that ....this is funny case i went to open my gearbox becase my first and four gear was jumping and i found out i had less that half Lt inside and now checking all the pieces everithing is good and nothing damage .. i will have to pay more attencion in future case all my woark now was useless and i presume the problem was only the oil
